The Kuria labeo (Labeo gonius) (Assamese: কুঁঢ়ি, romanized: kurhi, কুৰিহা kuriha; Bengali: ঘনিয়া, romanized: ghonia, গৈন্না gôinna)[3] is a species of fish in the carp family, Cyprinidae.[4] It is native to Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Burma, and it is known from Afghanistan and Nepal.[4]
The fish has been known to reach 1.5 meters in length and weigh 1.4 kilograms.[4] It is a freshwater fish usually found in rivers,[4] and it is sometimes seen in paddy fields.[1] It spawns during the monsoon around July and August.[1]
This fish is reared in aquaculture.[4] It can be reared with some other carps, but it tends to compete with certain species.[5]
The species is widespread and common in some areas, and it is not considered threatened on a large scale. It may face potential threats from overexploitation and degradation of its habitat.[1]
